Story
Hi, meet Rocky, he is a German Shepard Akita mix that my family adopted from a kill shelter in July 2025. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must re-home him as soon as possible. We fell in love with him at the shelter because he is so playful, happy, and good with my three and five year old. He is also fully crate trained and will put himself in his crate. He knows how to sit and lay down, but that is about it. Issues Rocky has: - jumping-while-excited and play biting. Needs to learn redirection. - aggressive with other animals, needs to be in a home with no other pets. - pulls while walking, his new owner will need to use a short leash - does not know his strength and will knock you over out of pure excitement Needs: - training - someone who can give him attention - needs mental stimulation - to be walked daily - to be in a home with a backyard

Story
This beautiful German Shepherd girl was found as a stray, pregnant and clearly having been through more than her share of hard times. We don’t know her full story, but her body told us enough—she’s known struggle, hunger, and heartbreak.   Willow gave birth to 8 precious puppies, but tragically, only 3 survived. Even through her grief, she’s been an amazing mama—gentle, nurturing, and strong.   She’s on the smaller side for a German Shepherd, but her heart is huge. Willow is potty trained, great on leash, learning her name, and loves being close to her people. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, enjoys playing in water, and has even proven herself to be a great little mouse catcher!   Willow is loyal, loving, and ready for a fresh start. She deserves a home full of kindness, comfort, and people who see the beauty in her resilience.   If you think Willow could be part of your story, reach out. She’s ready for the love she’s always deserved.   ##2342612##

Story
Meet Ginger – A Gentle Soul Searching for Her Forever Home Ginger is a sweet and loyal girl who has given her whole heart to her humans, only to find herself waiting for a family once again. At 10 years old, she deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by love, peace, and stability. Ginger's foster family love her. She is loyal to her folks. She will bark at someone at the door and makes it very clear she is there to make sure no one does anything to her people. In reality Ginger would rather hang out with her people. She bonds hard and loves unconditionally. She does need a family or person that is shepherd savvy.   Ginger is great with dog friendly dogs and in fact she can keep up with much younger dogs. Do not think because Ginger is a senior she is not capable. Ginger is able to jump into the back of a truck with no issues and can go on long walks with absolutely no issues.  Ginger is house-trained as well crate-trained, and she enjoys her walks, though she may pull a bit when excited. More than anything, she just wants a soft bed, gentle hands, and a family who will never let her go again. She would love to spend a rainy day laying on the bed cuddling or going on a road trip.  Senior dogs like Ginger have so much to give—they are wise, grateful, and deeply devoted. Ginger has waited far too long for her happily ever after. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this special girl ask to meet her.  ##1908335##

Rupert BearMeet our sweet, cuddly, loveble and oh so spunky little nugget Rupert. This dude is small but mighty. He may be Rupert the runt but he clearly missed that memo. He confidently struts around the house with his two large fur foster brothers and loves bugging the senior cat with his puppy antics. His favorite way to spend the day is with his 6 year old human foster sister, snuggling and playing all her silly games. He is his foster mamas special little man and even the resident teenage boy of the house won't turn down a snuggle. Rupert is the smallest of his crew and gets to be with his foster family just a little longer so he can perfect his fabulousness. He is crate trained and sleeps quietly all night long in his crate. House training will be starting soon. If you are looking for a smart, affectionate, gentle pup with a larger than life personality, then look no further. Our little Rupert is all that and more wrapped in a little package! ##2590248##

He is very loyal and attentive to his “person/persons”. We have a large crate for Masher that is 4ftx3ft and will sell for $25
